The Asbestos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This war is all we care
I should have known you'd betray
Your soul
Listen to my words
As I lay here to die
Listen to my words
I lay here dying!!
If there's one way to get out I'll find you
If there's truth in your tears I'll reach you
This not will pump blood in thw veins of this city
Makes easier going to hell when you know that
You don't belong omong the rats, but you get
Harder to burn and when you finally consume
You smell like flowers and not pig slime
Listen to my words
As I lay here to die
Listen to my words
As I lay here dying
I lay here dying!!
If there's one way to get out I'll find you
If there's truth in your tears I'll reach you
This not will pump blood in thw veins of this city (X2)
"Pray"
And I believe that
The word will save your soul...
The end is near...
Be silent and listen to the door..
Some people say when they lock him up
A dark cloud stood grieving in the skies
Some say it's not natural for a cloud
To groan and growl
They say she couldn't take it
He knows she couldn't handle it
And that cloud hasn't stop
Striking lightning since he found out
And that cloud hasn't stop
Striking lightning since he found out
The Asbestos's song "Sermons on Ending Times" is a powerful commentary on war and betrayal. In the first verse, the singer addresses his counterpart and admits that they both feel strongly about the conflict. However, the revelation of betrayal dampens the passion and conviction of their stance, perhaps indicating how personal relationships can interfere with political ones. The singer then seems to be on his deathbed, imploring his listener to pay attention to his words, which suggests that he has been deeply affected by the war and its consequences.
The second verse is more ambiguous - it begins with a glimmer of hope ("If there's one way to get out I'll find you"), but it quickly becomes darker and more cynical ("This [knot] will pump blood in the veins of this city"). It seems that the singer has lost faith in humanity and the possibility of redemption, and is resigned to an apocalyptic end. The use of the knot as a metaphor for the entanglement of violence and society is striking, as it evokes the idea of being trapped or tied to this destructive system. The following lines hint at a kind of spiritual transformation that can supposedly take place in the midst of such chaos, although it might be too little too late ("You smell like flowers and not pig slime").
The third verse incorporates biblical imagery and language, as the singer encourages his listener to pray for salvation. The repetition of "listen" emphasizes the urgency and importance of this message, and the line "the end is near" adds to the sense of impending doom. The final lines about the groaning cloud and lightning strikes suggest a supernatural or mythical dimension to the conflict, one that transcends the boundaries of human relationships and politics.
